Construction cleaner (Bouwopruimer)
Information on this skill...
A construction cleaner is a construction worker who is responsible for keeping a construction site clean and therefore safe. The profession of construction cleaner generally only occurs on large construction sites, where in most cases many different construction workers are employed. On smaller construction projects, keeping the construction site clean is usually done by the various construction workers themselves. The work of a construction cleaner can be regarded as important work, because a good construction cleaner ensures that no unnecessary accidents can happen due to debris on the construction site. In addition, a construction cleaner should usually be seen as an important safety officer, who will supervise the construction site with regard to unsafe situations. Consider, for example, the prevention of theft of work materials and tools. It is therefore the responsibility of a construction cleaner to prevent these types of unsafe situations. Other activities as a construction cleaner can be receiving work materials and distributing the work materials at the right location. In short, we can best describe the work of a construction cleaner as preventing unsafe situations by actively monitoring undesirable situations. The most important task of a construction cleaner is to clean up rubbish so that no accidents or other undesirable situations can occur on the construction site. In addition, a clean construction site comes across as much more professional, because a clean construction site will give a better impression. For the profession of construction cleaner, it is not necessary that you have an education. Working alone as a construction cleaner can be seen as unskilled labor. In most cases, a construction cleaner will have to be seen as an all-round employee who can be deployed for all conceivable jobs.
A construction cleaner is therefore a construction worker who can be used for various activities as an all-round employee. As a construction cleaner, you must therefore have a flexible work setting, because the work can differ per construction site. It is not the case that a construction cleaner is solely responsible for cleaning the chain of goods. The work of a construction cleaner must be seen much more broadly. For example, a construction cleaner may also be responsible for bringing coffee around the construction site so that the various construction workers do not have to walk to the schaftkeet themselves. Most contractors of larger construction sites appoint an employee to bring coffee around the construction site so that construction workers do not spend too much time on their coffee break. A construction cleaner can also be responsible for taking care of the fries on Friday. A construction cleaner can therefore not only be seen as a facility employee. As described earlier, the function of construction cleaner actually only occurs on the large construction sites where many different construction workers work. It is also usually the construction cleaner who will receive all incoming goods from wholesalers.
CONSTRUCTION CLEANER WORK
In addition to keeping the construction site clean, a construction cleaner can also be responsible for other work such as running out work materials and possibly removing nails from wood. The removal of burdocks that stelleurs have applied can also be the responsibility of a construction cleaner. In addition, it is conceivable that a construction cleaner is responsible for monitoring the general safety on a construction site. Consider, for example, taking measures if the construction cleaner sees that a construction scaffolding does not meet the requirements. It often happens that construction workers independently make adjustments to construction scaffolding that are not completely in accordance with the requirements. The work of a construction cleaner is generally not difficult, but can be regarded as important work.

- Actively preventing unsafe work situations

WHAT DOES A CONSTRUCTION CLEANER DO:
TRAINING TO BECOME A CONSTRUCTION CLEANER
There are no recognized MBO courses for the profession of construction cleaner. The work of a construction cleaner should in most cases be seen as unskilled work. In general, it is true that a construction cleaner must have a VCA certification. As a construction cleaner, a correct work mentality is in most cases more important than a recognized training. However, accounting is important as an independently working construction cleaner.
COMPANIES WHERE A CONSTRUCTION CLEANER CAN BE EMPLOYED
In most cases, a construction cleaner works for a contracting company. The profession of construction cleaner only occurs on the larger construction sites, where many different construction workers work. It is conceivable that a construction cleaner can also work at other construction sites where keeping the workplace clean is important. Consider, for example, a large renovation project. In all cases, a construction cleaner will work for a contractor. It is also possible that a construction cleaner works through a temporary employment agency.
COMPETENCES CONSTRUCTION CLEANER
The most important competencies of a construction cleaner are a sense of responsibility and a correct work attitude. The sense of responsibility mainly relates to being able to assess possible unsafe work situations and proactively prevent unsafe work situations. Because a construction cleaner will work together with many different craftsmen, communication in general can also be regarded as an important competence. Another important competence is flexibility, because a construction cleaner can be used for various types of work. Generally important words are vigilance, independence, passion, energy, insight, control, monitoring, perseverance and stress resistance.
LABOUR MARKET PERSPECTIVE AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES AS A CONSTRUCTION CLEANER
The labour market perspective as a construction cleaner is generally not very large. The profession of construction cleaner certainly does not occur on all construction sites. In practice, in most cases, a construction cleaner is only employed on the larger construction sites. The career opportunities as a construction cleaner can be seen in the position of safety coordinator. A safety coordinator is responsible for preventing unsafe work situations by actively taking safety measures. Another possible career opportunity as a construction cleaner can again be the profession of chief.
TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT AND SALARY OF CONSTRUCTION CLEANER
Because it is unskilled work, the earnings will generally not be particularly high either. Depending on his age, a construction cleaner in paid employment will earn about 1600 to 2200 euros gross per month. As a construction cleaner, there is not much chance of a life as an independent entrepreneur, because there will be too little demand for this work.
